Unspoken Rules and Crusade

In the lively celebratory atmosphere, Lin Ling stood quietly aside while she watched the other recruits cheered happily.

In any past tournament, second place was already celebratory worthy. But when the first place winner was from the East Asian military, the majority had seemed to forget that the second place was also from the same East Asian military. And just not long ago, everyone once had high hopes on this second place participant to emerge as the champion. 

Lin Ling didn't leave but neither did she join the celebration team as she watched quietly at a corner. It was as if all of this had nothing to do with her.

Qin Fen squeezed through the crowd toward Lin Ling who stood still in her position.

Both of them looked at each other.

"You are the champion."

Lin Ling spoke with her usual voice. From her voice, there wasn't any happiness or disappointment.
